OutdoorDad,

Spend 5 or 6 hours searching and reviewing past forum postings. I know it sounds a bit heavy, but there has been tons of stuff posted about vehicles, bags, kits, and equipment in just the few months I have been here.

As a survivor of the early childhood parenting stuff I would make sure you focus on the simple things that can keep your kids clean and warm. Having 2 or 3 dozen cloth diapers and a case of Dreft (or the hypoallergenic, perfume-free detergent of your choice) will do you a ton of good. Or a bzillion disposable diapers can do just as well. We used cloth as much as possible and had far fewer rash and other related infection problems.

I would maybe look into making a "rickshaw" out of a bike trailer. I would help in transporting the kids if you are forced to be afoot.

Just my 2 cents
